Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2233762A1] A torque limiter which can be easily and quickly assembled and adjusted. A torque limiter has a tube member (1) and a shaft member (2). The shaft member (2) has a circumferentially extending section (52) extending around the complete circumference of the outer surface of the tube member (1). The circumferentially extending section (52) has a circumferentially extending groove and a screw hole open to the outside radially of the circumferentially extending section (52) and to the circumferentially extending groove. In use, when the tube member (1) rotates relative to the shaft member (2), an outer end radially of a tube (27) is cut by a cap (70) threaded to the screw hole. When the tube member (1) is rotated relative to the shaft member (2) with the cap (70) not threaded to the screw hole and with the tube (27) not open to the outside, the end of the tube (27) circumferentially moves in the circumferentially extending groove with a spacing from the groove.
